Holidays that fall on an employee’s regular day off will be banked to utilize at a later date. Holidays will be accrued as the Holiday occurs, and those Holidays that are not used by the end of the Fiscal Year (June 30) will be cashed out at the employee’s current regular rate of pay.
The floating holidays, at ten (10) hours each, will accrue on July 1 of each year. If an employee has not completed six months of employment on July 1, the floating holiday hours will be credited following completion of six months of employment. Floating holiday hours may be used in fifteen (15) minute increments. Floating holiday hours may accumulate but must be used or forfeited prior to termination; no pay off at termination.
Holiday Closure. During the week of Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day, the City offices will be closed. Employees may utilize accrued vacation or compensatory time off in addition to the holidays, in order to receive full pay for the week.
Alternatively, during the Holiday Closure, an employee may choose to perform special projects or other additional duties for the City. Any special projects or additional duties during the Holiday Closure shall first be approved by City Manager based upon Department Head recommendation prior to performing the special projects or additional duties. The employee shall not be entitled to, and the City Manager shall not approve, any special projects or other additional duties that will result in the payment of overtime compensation to the employee during the Holiday Closure. In no event shall the special projects or additional duties result in any additional acting pay, on-call pay, call out pay, or promotional pay that the employee would not otherwise be entitled to receive during the Holiday Closure.
The Parties further agree:
Scheduling Notice. The City will provide the notice required by Article 52 (Scheduling Notice) before changing an individual employee’s work schedule under this Agreement.
No Other Changes. Except as expressly amended herein, all terms of the MOU remain in full force and effect. ________________________________________
